Upgrading to an AIO unit

[FedCOM]

Guys,

 

Not sure if this is the correct forum, my first post on Linus Techtips (though love the the youtube channel) for this and I hope this is not going to be duplicated post but I though to ask.

I want to upgrade my air cooler to a new AIO water cooler and I am conflicted.  There seem to be a lot of choices out there and hard to decide which I will want.

 

I am currently running a i5-2500k (no OC and not really planning on it) in a Corsair 350d case with 2x NF-A14 as intakes and an NF-S12 as an exhaust.

I am planning on mounting the Rad on the top as an intake (got a fan filter for the top already) and regardless of what fan the AIO comes in, I will change them up for Noctuas.

 

So as I see it there are 3 choices from Corsair:

H100i

H105

H110

 

Then there is the Glacier 240 L from cooler master.

Are there others I should consider.

 

They key for me is good temperatures, ability to handle higher end CPUs and quiet operations.

From what I saw in the video reviews, the pump on the 240L is a bit loud and that concerns me.

 

Thanks a ton guys

if you are not going to overclock, a watercooling aio unit is a waste of money. you wont get any benefit out of it compared to even a midrange air cooler.

If you can afford the Eisberg 240L you should also be able to afford the Swifttech H220, I'd go with that.

You really don't need an AIO for a no-overclock quiet CPU. You might as well get an air cooler and invest in quieter case fans.

Thanks guys.

 

Well i though I had really good case fans.

As for water vs Air, this is more of my entry into water and to open up the potability to OC in the future.

H100i - solid

H105 - sadly to thick for the 350D (there could be a workaround for that, though)

H110 - less features than H100i, but larger radiator

Glacer 240L - upgradable
